Queen's Bays
DCLI (infilled the bugle-horn only)
Royal Scots
Royal Welch
Royal Berkshire Regt. (Subsequently the Wessex, DERR & M4's adopted an inverted red triangle. Their colour was officially known as Brandy Wine)
KRRC
I also own specimens of ano Duke of Welington's, Light Dragoons, and 10th Royal Hussars all with a red backing.
Hope this helps, Stephen.
